Are bit fields possible in DJGPP? I tried the following code and got erros:

unsigned getInput():4
{
    unsigned up : 1 = key[KEY_UP];
    unsigned left : 1 = key[KEY_LEFT];
    unsigned right : 1 = key[KEY_RIGHT];
    unsigned down : 1 = key[KEY_DOWN];

Notice I've tried to return a bit field also, but all get errors:
"Base initializer not allowed for non-member functions"   <---Function
signature
"Parse error before ':' " <------Up down left and right

Newbie.
